Windows is probably the most complex machine that is regularly used
without even reading the manual. Think about it - this thing is
COMPLEX. I've found XP to be extremely reliable on a wide variety of
design software if used and configured correctly.

I'd bet that 90% of the moans and complaints about XP in this thread,
are from people who DON'T READ MANUALS OR HELP FILES.

Manuals? This laptop came with *NO STEENKIN' MANUALS*.

Read the manuals guys, then complain. IMHO for $100, XP is damn good
value. WAAAAY easier to maintain and operate than Linux GUIs.

BS. Ever try to fix a Windows registry problem? Where's the
documentation for that? Hmm? Windows is 25% of the price of an
entry level system. By comparison, Linux is free.

Older versions of Windows allowed you to type scanreg /fix from the
C: prompt to fix a lot of problems. I am looking at a program called
"Brute Force Uninstaller" that lets you write scripts to remove unwanted
programs cleanly, and leave no trail in the registry. Its a freeware
package from http://www.merijn.org/ where you can find some other free
and useful software tools.
